The Pope can perform Masses, and is considered the highest Catholic Priest here on Earth.
The fullness of the priesthood is given to those who are ordained as bishops. A bishop therefore is the pinnacle of the priesthood. Speaking strictly in terms of the sacrament of Holy Orders, all bishops who have the full use of their orders and faculties are equal in their priestly powers.If speaking of jurisdiction, the pope, though only a bishop, has been chosen as the spiritual and political leader of the Church and therefore is its highest ranking priest in those terms.
